First Congratulations to all the non smokers!!!!

I am one of the last people to smoke on the face of this planet i do believe. Sooooooooooo many have quit and i've held on, i've continued, i've thought i'll be the last one that smokes and will have to grow my own tobacco secretly in a cave in the mountains and protect it with a bb gun or darts. I am stubborn to the core and really thought they would carry me away in a pine box with smoke coming out of it cause i'd find a way to smoke when i left here.

But, it's been on my mind a lot. Number one cancer runs strongly in my family and i had a recent scare myself and thank God i am ok. Number two i'm a respiratory nurse (you'd think i'd know better) and three omg the cost!!!!!

Today i made a huge leap. Today i bought electronic cigarettes. I honestly didn't give it much hope. I thought it would be like so many other things in life which has been a disappointment when it came down to helping me quit.

However, i'm BLOWN AWAY. These things ROCK. They are strongggggg even stronger than the brand i smoked. They are non toxic to the air and people around me. I am still getting the nicotine but not the carbon monoxide and not the tar. I really believe i could totally do this and not pick up my pack anymore. Huge surprise as to the taste and feel.

It is a start right? Am i a non smoker now? I feel like i am but i feel like i'm cheating with the e-ciggs. Either way it has GOT to be better than what i was doing, right?
